Agricultural Engineer, graduated from the Luiz de Queiroz College of Agriculture at the University of São Paulo (ESALQ/USP) in 1998, with a Master's degree (2000) and Ph.D. (2003) in Agronomy from the same institution. He completed postdoctoral training at the University of Florida (20102011) and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (2018), in the United States. He worked as a researcher at Embrapa from 2002 to 2013, and as a professor at PUC-Campinas (20052013) and FGV-Agro (20082013). From 2006 to 2013, he served as a visiting professor and graduate advisor at ESALQ/USP. Since 2013, he has been a professor in the field of agrometeorology and crop modeling at the Department of Biosystems Engineering at ESALQ/USP, where he became an associate professor in 2014. He has been honored by graduating classes at PUC and ESALQ and has held a CNPq research productivity fellowship since 2010. He has published over 150 scientific articles, six books, and fifteen book chapters. He has participated in scientific missions in 23 countries, delivering lectures and conducting field research. Since 2005, he has led nationally coordinated research projects, with strong performance in research funding acquisition and group management. He coordinates the ESALQ Tempocampo System, which provides technical support to farmers and agribusinesses in the soybean, corn, and sugarcane sectors for crop forecasting and climate impact assessment. He was the coordinator of the China-Brazil Innovation Center at ESALQ and the Brazilian Yield Gap Atlas project (www.yieldgap.org). He currently serves as president of the Brazilian Society of Agrometeorology (terms 20212023 and 20232025) and coordinator of the Graduate Program in Agricultural Systems Engineering at ESALQ.

The world population can reach 9.7 billion people by 2050 with a large portion of the growth occurring in underdeveloped countries. This growth, coupled with rising per capita income, will result in increases in demand for beef of up to 35%. Although Brazil has the largest commercial herd in the world raised predominantly on tropical pastures, there are still no studies on pasture product…
Brazil is one of the world's largest producers and exporters of food, feed, fiber and (bio)fuel. Estimates indicated that the country would need to increase food production in 40% to meet global demands by 2050. Meanwhile, tropical agricultural systems have to be important allies to sequester carbon (C) and reduce greenhouse gases emission, and consequently, contribute to mitigating clima…
Global population will increase by 30% up to 2050. At the same time, consumption of livestock and dairy products will increase as a result of higher income per capita, and this will lead to a 50-70% increase in food demand. Brazil has a comparative advantage to help meet global food demand due to plentiful land and water resources. However, the rate of increase in average farmer yields ha…
Global population will peak 9.7 billion by year 2050, representing a 30 percent increase relative to today's population. At the same time, consumption of livestock and dairy products will increase as a result of higher income per capita. Altogether, this will lead to a 50-70% increase in food demand Brazil has a comparative advantage to help meet global food demand due to plentiful land a…

The global population may reach 9.7 billion people by 2050, with growth primarily occurring in underdeveloped countries. This growth, along with the increase in per capita income, will lead to an increase in demand for beef of up to 50.2%. Intensifying the use of the 43 million hectares of degraded pastures in Brazil to enhance livestock carrying capacity and productivity is strategic for…
Brazilian agribusiness occupies a prominent position in the world economy, with soybean being the main crop and Brazil leading global production, reaching 147.8 million tons in the 2023/2024 harvest, with the states of Mato Grosso, Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul as the largest producers, while Bahia and Pará are emerging in the agricultural expansion of this grain. This productivity is infl…
Population growth intensifies the demand for food, energy, and fibers, exerting increasing pressure on the agricultural sector in the context of climate change. Sugarcane, essential for Brazil and particularly for the state of São Paulo, is a strategic crop for biofuel, energy, and food production, while also contributing to greenhouse gas (GHG) emission mitigation. With global warming, s…

Population growth and increased consumption of food, fiber, and fuel in a global scenario of climate change puts pressure on the sugar-energy sector to raise production with efficient use of water resources. The aim of this project is to assess the effects of climate change on sugarcane yield and yield components, water productivity, water balance components, and soil available water in a…
Soybean and corn crops are extremely important for Brazil and, in a context of increasing world population, demand for these products is expected to increase. The soybean-maize succession is fundamental to the profitability of the land, the optimization of the use of human resources and machinery, in addition to increasing total grain production. Furthermore, it is the main agricultural s…
Predominantly carried out by family properties, cassava farming is of great importance for food security and job creation in Brazil, especially in the states of Pará and Paraná, where most of the national production is concentrated. However, it is not known for sure how this culture will develop in the face of climate change scenarios (e.g., increased temperature and increase in atmospher…

Process-based agricultural models are important tools that can simulate plant growth, synthesizing physiological processes through input data, where it is possible to simulate genetic improvement through plant responses, in addition to the edaphoclimatic and management characteristics of the studied plant. The objective of this project will be to calibrate the CROPGRO-Perennial Forage/DSS…
Sugarcane production plays an important role in the world's economy, serving as afundamental source for obtaining sugar, ethanol, and other derivative products. However, thisagricultural activity is subject to significant impacts caused by climatic phenomena such as ElNiño and La Niña. These climate variations have important effects on the global climate,affecting rainfall, temperature, a…
It is important to study the crop response to future climate scenarios due to climate changes affecting the Earth. Wheat is a major crop in Kansas, USA, given its role in food security. It is expected that climate change would affect crop yield in the future, and this project aims to analyze long-term climate data series in the State of Kansas to understand the impact that climate change …
